Lead: CartographyDescription
630The Prester dreams of a palace of his youth, in a summer city bathed in the Mountain's Light. It was not Nidah. It will not be Nidah again. The dahlias wilt as he dreams, and the sky darkens, almost imperceptibly.
631The Prester dreams of his father, and his father's mother, and the one who came before them. […]the Kingdoms from which they hale, and to which they will not return. […]their finery left at the College doors, and which they will not take up again.
632The Prester dreams of roses and honey, spiders and bees. […]of a wound unceasing and a light unending. […]of London and tiger, of drowning and rising. […]of a hundred things besides and in those dreams he struggles to carve his territories to the […] map he has made.
633The Prester is walking up a mountain. The Prester is governing Nidah. The Prester is not afraid of Nicator. It is a pleasant dream.
